Buy (yes dinero) a USB rig which will connect your hard drive to another computer (about $30). Connect your drive to a computer which has an up to date AVAST anti virus program installed. Run AVAST on your infected drive. Put your now virus free drive back in your computer. The USB rig may be the handiest item you have ever invested in.
